Guest Stormin Si Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 i used to be into the more mod stuff before i got into the northern scene proper. since then though, theres been no looking back

Guest ShaneH Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Shane, who was the singer you were telling me about a while back? Local to you I think, you had a link to his song/video? richard hawley - brilliant!
Soulof Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Black Sabbath, Motorhead, AC/DC all in their early carriers, Who, Beach Boys , Stone Roses great as well. and for Heikki and my Finish friends Sibelius - Finlandia (classic masterpiece ). But still 99.99 % soul and mostly northern off course
Guest Dan Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Looking down my CD rack, Neil Young, AC/DC (with Bon Scott), Teenage Fanclub, The Jam/Weller, Buzzcock/Clash/Pistols, blues, modern jazz, Black Sabbath, Crosby Stills and Nash, Spiritualized, Beach Boys, Walker Bros, Spacemen 3, Dinosaur Jr, Lemonheads, Mighty Lemon Drops, Jesus and Mary Chain, Small Faces, Rod Stewart (early), Kinks (early)...the list is endless. But soul music first and foremost.
Guest Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Fond of 1950's/60's Jazz, plus a little Latin and at a stretch British Blues/rock..Pete Green etc... But never listen to it......infact hardly ever
Guest rachel Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 richard hawley - brilliant! Thanks, will have a look Don't find much in the charts I like (mind you, don't really listen to Radio 1 etc so most of the time don't know what's on there anyway). Mostly listen to soul in its various forms, and bits of jazz, blues, 80s/90s indie (when I want to feel like a teenager again ), very occasional bit of classical (got particular favourites but most of it brings back nightmares of music college ).. odds and ends of other things
Guest Richard Bergman Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 I collect a whole range of genres and styles....my great passions are Avant Jazz Doo-wop Girl group and Spectorlikes Gospel / Blues Krautrock 60's Brit Folk Latin 60's /70's oddball pop Hillbilly + many more I'm ADDICTED !! Some of my favourite recording artists include : Scott Walker / John Coltrane / Jacques Brel Randy Newman / Fred Neil / Pharoah Sanders Neu! / Gram Parsons / Charles Mingus /
Sweeney Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Anything and everything, really. Just as long as it's made with feeling and passion and the care of a craftsman.
Guest Dan Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Anything and everything, really. Just as long as it's made with feeling and passion and the care of a craftsman. 'the care of a craftsman'? this isn't woodwork, sweens old bean. some of the best music ever made is spontaneously thrown together by a few lads (or girls) in recording studios the size of lifts. the care of craftsmen? are you secretly into genesis and yes?

I'd say if it grabs you in some positive way, it doesn't matter, what style it is.. But the pleasure you get from listening to a soul record, that you really love, certainly is incomparable, I guess the majority of you will agree Cheers, Stefan

Good God no! Never really understood 'Prog' I'm afraid, other than as a sleeping aid. Technically proficient, yes, passionate? no. Spontaneity has it's time and place.
Guest Dirk Tiggler Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 I love British 60 Ts pop music (small faces, yardbirds, procul harlem , kinks & most of the mersey beat sounds) Had a flirt with prog rock in early 70 Ts & I still love Bowie's Hunky Dory & Ziggy Stardusts L.P.s I never liked punk or heavy metal.I like male vocalists. I love Scott Walker & don't laugh, Matt Munro. I've been ridiculed for spelling Otis's surname wrong, so I appologise in advance if I've made any other errors such as admitting to liking dear old Matt. Regards Ada p.s good question
Guest Netspeaky Posted February 16, 2006 Posted February 16, 2006 Didn't think half of you would have time for any other type of music, bearing in mind the amount of time you spend on here.

Larsc Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Apart from soul/funk/r&b : Jazz, mostly female vocal. Rock, from japanese neo-psych to norwegian noise-music and beyond. I mostly find the traditional bands too boring. The music needs to have some kind of groove... or soul. Electronic music, blip-blop style. 80's synth and industrial. And most of all electro-acoustic styles. Classical, all kinds.

BrianB Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 None! Tried over the years to listen to other forms of music, but every night without fail its at least an hour of Northern and Motown for me. The harder I try to listen to other music the less I like it.

Guest ShaneH Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 Nah, batty boys! are they better than the pet shop boys? i find their music more disturbing than the origin of their name
Guest Dan Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 weird. while i thought i was a hard core scooterist i hated the pet shop boys. but five years or so ago i had an epiphany and realised they're brilliant, or at least their melodies are very good, along with new order and other (mainstream) electronic bands (incluing electronic). but soul is the house - all the rest is just wallpaper.
Guest Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 but five years or so ago i had an epiphany and realised they're brilliant, Yes they are well said Dan, welcome to the world of PSB
Guest heikki 2 Posted February 17, 2006 Posted February 17, 2006 (edited) soul music in its all forms being the main interest, but have liked many styles of music through the years. most recently been into (alongside of soul + raw hard funk of course): early belle & sebastian, liekki (a finnish 'indie' band), art blakey, john coltrane + other 'basic' modern jazz, acid house, 'post disco' productions by larry levan such as gwen guthrie - seventh heaven, mid 9ts stuff on ninja tune and mo' wax, iggy and the stooges, minimalist piano music such as eric satie (very relaxing on sunday afternoons after heavy saturdays out). olof, cheers for the sibelius quote! haven't been listening to classical stuff for ages except for piano stuff.
